[Vangunu Island] [AXIS/ALLIED] [HISB] [GD]
Vangunu Island, Wickham Anchorage:
At the start of the New Georgia campaign, part of the US 1st Marine Raider Regiment landed on Vangunu Island to capture the Japanese naval base at Wickham Anchorage.
Historically two companies from the 4th Marine Raider Battalion attacked the base on June 30th. The base was defended by the Japanese 43rd Naval Defense Unit. The initial attack bogged down in the face of stiff Japanese resistance and it was not until a few days later when the US Army's 2nd Battalion, 103rd Infantry Regiment arrived on the scene that the combined Marine/Army regiment captured the base.
This scenario explores what may have happened if the entire Raider Regiment had made the initial assault.
